The art of making jewelry can be traced back to over 5,000 B.C.  Ancient ancestors have figured out creative ways to utilize natural resources such as leaves, nuts and vines to string beautiful ornaments.  Jewelry making is so engrained into our civilization and society, children often learn how to string Cheerios before they are able to speak in complete sentences.  Like many others, I enjoy wearing various jewelry and am very impressed with how jewelry making is able to sustain societies throughout the world.  


Philip and Katy Leakey have developed their Zulugrass jewelry as a direct result of providing work for the Maasai women of Kenya.  Zulugrass is available in a wide range of colors and styles.  I love their simplistic and faltering styles. Wearing their jewelry makes a statement and supports such an important cause,... empowering women with fair trade opportunities.
